Little is known of the author, an architect and surveyor of Furnivals Inn. His wife inherited half of her father's estate, and the development of North Street in London was pursued by the Scottish-born McWilliam. No buildings have hitherto been ascribed to him, apart from the handsome classically detailed terrace that is now Nos 2753 Northdown Street which was built in 1839 by McWilliam, who had plans in place for developing the entire estate by the time of his death in December 1842. He was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, and his only public ation seems to be this one, dedicated to the 4th Duke of Gordon and subscribed for widely among members of the architectural profession.

Binding tight and solid. Garet Garrett wrote one last, and truly spectacular, novel called Harangue (The Trees Said to the Bramble Come Reign Over Us). The words are from the Bible (Judges 9: 15, and the metaphor here refers to the strange penchant of the rich to fund socialism that kills the rich and consumes wealth. Garrett illustrates the strange tendency in a story of politics, economic folly, conspiracy, ideology, and violence. Published in 1926, it deals directly with the real-life attempt to create a Workers Paradise in the United States, in North Dakota from 1918 to 1921. The plot pits two socialist movements against each other in a battle for control. The I. W. W. Was the American movement of Reds socialist-'anarchists' who believed the violent strike would usher in utopia. Meanwhile, the Non-Partisan League was the American movement of pinks, the social democrats who wanted full socialism but with liberties (so long as they could be tolerated). They joined together to lay siege to the governor's office, and then nationalized the mills and the banks.
